Is it true that iPod's will only sinc to one computer? HELP? Can you disable it by turning on the hold switch?

I highly recommend using Apple's support site (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/) rather than asking Amazon users. Most don't actually know what they're talking about. You can easily back up, transfer, switch computers, etc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329) Also, you can switch to manually sync your iPod which will allow you to sync with many computers. The purpose of auto-syncing is to ensure that the changes you make on your computer are mirrored on your iPod. However, there are many other easy ways to manage your iPod such as dragging-and-dropping playlists straight to the iPod. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351)

Cant handle multiple devices. You have to disconnect from the isound and resync the other device you want to use.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

I am experiencing the same problem with 4Gb Blue Nano, which freezes pretty much once a day, usually happens while accessing a song or audiobook immediately after syncing. Does not happen every time, though - seems to happen when I am too fast to push the play button without waiting for the previous menu to fully appear. This is very annoying, as my old iPod Mini NEVER did that.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

The small round switch on top left side of iPod locks out all of the controls on the round face. Example, your listening to music and stick the iPod in your pocket, slide switch to right, to prevent accidental skipping of songs, changing volume, etc. Hope that helps.

Well the one I bought I can't get to work at all, it doesn't want to take settings from the website they give you, and I know nothing about ipod or Apple anything, sorry.

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

Hey Richard, I bought a SonyEricsson w810 (unlocked) about two weeks ago. I can transfer pics I downloaded from the net into my mac powerbook g4 10.3.9, then into my phone via usb. I can transfer and play non-protected music the same way. What has me considering sending back the phone (bought it through Meritline.com, which is another frustrating story) is that, even after creating music folders, my w810 will only play one song. Nothing concurrently. I'd might as well be flipping 45 rpm's on an old turntable (remember those?). I'm so frustrated, I'm condidering just getting the iphone, even with it's reported first-generation problems. Best of luck!

I'm trying to figure this out too. It's the only problem I'm finding with this iPod function. I hate that I can't shuffle the songs. Can anyone help?? Thanks.

Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

HI Lynne, To be honest, I don't really know. However I didnt think they were still producing this product. If I had my time again, I wouldn't buy this, as a apple upgrade allows you to play your music from your phone without your computer being turned anyway. Also, you need to remove the Iphone from its case to dock it, which is a pain as I have a armour type silicon case on my phone which takes some effort to remove. I never use my dock anymore, I should sell it on, as its been made redundant with the apple upgrade. If your Ipod has wifi, I'm guessing it should work, but can't know for sure.

I was wondering if it is possible to link up two of these for a stereo effect while playing my iPod through one of them. Is that possible?

i typically sync via the cloud. I just plugged it in through the port and itunes recognizes that it's plugged in - I don't know if you are planning to plug both devices at the same time to sync at the same time. The computer would recognize both but Itunes wouldn't be able to sync both at the same time.

Seeing as this isn't an actual iPod, no you can't. It look like one but is as the name suggests, it is a generic mp3 player.but I do believe iPods do let you face time with other iPod users.
